When all else fails, the only sensible course of action is simply to ignore the people you can't stand. Only real issues still on the table are the manner in which you go about it and your underlying motives.

The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home. Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat!
He kept taking the cat further and further, and the cat would always beat him home. At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there.
Hours later the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?"
"Yes", the wife answers, "why do you ask?"
Frustrated, the man answered, "Put the little turd on the phone, I'm lost and need directions."

I've no particular axe to grind; I'm not really part of this General Forum scene. But your persona is your persona, and I think that this persona is exactly what you intend it to be. So for you to start a thread seemingly about you claiming to have tried your best blah blah just ignore others blah blah they are to blame blah blah not me, strikes me as a wee bit rich.
Now we transition from the threshold to the crux of the matter. Previously we've been objectively swapping thoughts about a universal social problem, apparently inevitable at all levels and strata of human interaction (government, workplace, media, entertainment, professional sports, religion, families, social circles, even cyberspace chat rooms and pub ...[text shortened]... value of your stock in trade on the public market plummeted Tuesday morning, June 26, 2012.

Period. Those who have known me outside the general forum sandbox would attest to the incontrovertible fact that I don't pander for affection, kiss up for approval or change. 4) You're dreamimg and projecting bad fiction to displace the facts. The topic focus is collective human behavior, not blame. Geeesh, what stinkin hole do you fish in? What polluted water trough do you frequent? 5) What's rich is the aroma from the barnyard. High time to muck the stalls.

Your OP clearly seeks to place the blame for your failures on the people you "cannot stand".
"When all else fails, the only sensible course of action is simply to ignore the people you can't stand. Only real
issues still on the table are the manner in which you go about it and your underlying motives."
